Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), a major component of the thioredoxin system, makes a critical role in regulating cellular redox signaling and is found to be overexpressed in many human cancer cells. TrxR has become an attractive target for anticancer agents. In this work, three Ru(II) complexes with salicylate as ligand, [Ru(phen)2(SA)] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, SA = salicylate, 1), [Ru(dmb)2(SA)] (dmb = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, 2) and [Ru(bpy)2(SA)] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 3), were synthesized and characterized. The anticancer effect exerted by them was evaluated. Complex 1 was found to exhibit obvious anticancer activity, in comparison with cisplatin, against cancer cell lines, while displaying low toxicity to the normal cell line BEAS-2B. The mechanism of complex 1 cancer cell growth suppress was investigated in A549 cells. Complex 1 exerted its anticancer through inducing apoptosis and triggering cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Complex 1 can selectively inhibit TrxR activity and thus promote the generation and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently trigger mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage, activate oxidative stress-sensitive mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), and suppress the protein kinase B (PKB or AKT) signal pathway, resulting in apoptosis in A549 cells.
